Cyanine-TCNQ complex dye data storage media and manufacturing method thereof

1. Field of the Invention This invention provides a data storage media comprising at least a cyanine-TCNQ complex dye having the structural formula: wherein Q and Q′ denote aromatic or polyaromatic, R1 and R2 are selected from the group consisting of alkyl, arylester, alkoxy, alkylthio, and alkoxythio etc., n represents an integer of 0, 1, 2, and 3, TCNQ-m represents 7,7′,8,8′-tetracyanoquinodimethane or its derivatives, and m is an integer of 1 or 2. The data storage media comprising the cyanine-TCNQ complex dye includes a reflection optical recording media and a non-reflection fluorescent optical recording media suiting the requirement.
